Abstract

Mathematics - Combinatorics Combinatorics
We prove a conjecture of Shteiner and Shteyner stating that for a bipartite graphG=(V,E) , the number of forests inGequals the number of degree sequences arising from its spanning subgraphs. In the process, we provide several equivalent evaluations of the Tutte polynomialT_(G)(x,y)at(2,1) , including interpretations in terms of degree vectors obtained from orientations ofG .
